DIY: AC Vent Reducers?

New home and 1st time having 2 floors and a basement. First floor of the house has wooden vents with no toggle reducers. I am losing a ton of pressure and the upstairs is 15 degrees warmer. Are there options of reducing the flow down stairs like placing some kind of anti-microbial mesh below the vents? Something that can breathe and wouldn’t grow mold. I’m considering adding a duct fan to push more air upstairs but I was told they won’t guarantee it will work. submitted by /u/Mindless_Diver5063 [link] [comments]
